lulu, how are we feeling about... say... rockstar!husband!Eddie x working!wife!reader x yoga instructor!Steve?

reader who could probably live off eddies rockstar earnings but would totally go stir crazy staying at home and likes to keep working but does get a bit tense and overworked sometimes so when Eddie can't take care of his girl when he's on tour, he reaches out to yoga instructor Steve (old friends?) to keep her relaxed while he's away and wink wink flexible for his return

ouhhhhh yeah I’m on board!! okay maybe…

masseuse Steve? Eddie knows his old high school buddy that’s rumored to *ahem* service the stars. and their partners. like the guy does actually have a degree in massage therapy but also happens to be a huge slut w a giving nature ♥️ so it works out

(P.S. hopefully this isn’t too close to @rebelfell ‘s INCREDIBLE Eddie pornstar au where he was a masseuse too plzzzz check out for your viewing pleasure on Sarah’s page if u haven’t already!!!)

Eddie makes sure to introduce you two beforehand and bump into Steve with you casually ;) at mingling events/press parties. kind of lays the groundwork for friends so it’s not as awkward when Steve shows up at your door two months later when Eddie’s on tour 😇

you’re in the middle of stress cleaning and Steve is charming but u really weren’t expecting him to stay so long after offering tea. but then his hands are on your shoulders and oh my god… magic thumbs?? he manages to pinpoint all the little spots of tension and erase them. and his voice is so soothing too. you never realized how good he was with people, that charming, easy nature…

and then he’s laying out the ground rules. telling you Eddie’s pre-approved this to help you with stress relief, and Steve is all yours for the night, if you want him 😁

and you DO but out loud you hedge, a bit apprehensive but also coy, like hmm I unfortunately have a lot of laundry so…

and Steve shrugs. says well I got paid in advance to have sex during this block of time you mind if I use one of the bedrooms to take care of myself? 🙂

and then you’re like okay. in THAT case. since my husband already bought you for me and everything. I GUESS 🤷‍♀️😈

edit- new fic just dropped 🙈

I have a strong dislike for the people on the fringes of Alycia's core friends group. They are the ones who make the little comments about her fanbase while her core friends have embraced her fanbase.

Well I'm not entirely sure who you're even talking about or what happened, but generally speaking idrgaf what people think anyway. People always got opinions on every damn thing you do, think, feel, and enjoy, and some people just like to ridicule the things that don't fall entirely within their own little hiveminded interests. Some people really never mentally leave high school, they're eternally the class bully, so it's not even worth paying attention to. So that's a pretty good point to start at. Like what you like, ignore other people.

That being said, my opinion on this is - in a general sense - split, because tbh it is true that there is a decent portion of her fanbase who act absolutely fucking wild and inappropriate, and it is weird. If you've ever ventured into her comments section? My insides necrotize instantaneously from embarrassment on her behalf more often than not. And they do it under other people's posts that involve her too! They'll dm her friends and costars asking about her, jump on people's IG lives and only talk about her (they used to do this to poor Colman regularly, god bless and protect that man), I've seen them do really fucking creepy location tracking on her friends/bf to try and pry into her personal life.

Like. She does have fans that do overstep lines on a regular basis and it is gross and weird. That behavior should be called out, and it makes sense that it is fucking tiring to deal with. I'm sure Alycia complains about it to them herself! I would too! I would also get tired if under every single post - including posts about new projects and new work I've done - people spammed it with messages about old roles that I had finished years prior. I would also get annoyed if people constantly made directly sexual comments right to me and my posts without any regard to my comfort. I would feel embarrassed af if people went to my friends pages and left those same comments, or ignored my friend's wonderful accomplishments just to talk about me. It's not hard to be decent to someone, and yet some people just do not care.

On the flip side of that, some people are just professional haters and extremely pretentious/self aggrandizing. Some people truly are only happy when they're ridiculing other people because it gives them self-validation 🤷‍♀️. Most ardent fans of celebs tend to be women as well, and historically anything women do or like is cause for shaming and mocking because misogyny and internalized misogyny is very real. A dude can know literally every single piece of trivia about their favorite athlete and follow their entire career and they're just deemed "a loyal fan", but a woman could know a bunch of factoids about her fave celeb and support their career and suddenly she's "a weird obsessive fanatic." There's always going to be double standards, which is why I say at some point you have to just like what you like and say fuck you to everything else. Especially when you're a queer woman (which the majority of her fans are) and your interest is intrinsically queer-based, because whew buddy the only thing worse than a woman liking things is a gay woman liking things.

Ya know. Cuz we're icky 🥰😘

The anon who mentioned the Punks marking their height on the main mast reminds me of a memory that lives rent free in my head.

I'm 5'3" and my younger brother (by 2yrs) is 5'9" I think. We went to the same high school. By the time I was a senior he was a sophomore, and since he didn't have a car yet I was the one who would drive him home with me when the school day was over.

I walked up to him one day after school while he was talking to his buddies.

Me: "Hey, you ready to go?"

Bro: "Yeah, give me a minute"

I turn to get to my car and wait for him and I hear his buddies all like

Friend: "Dude, why is a freshman driving you home?" *Freshman are not allowed to drive until they're sophomores and are at least 16 yrs old

Bro: "That's my sister, she's 18 and a senior"

Friend: "That's your sister? She looks so young and short"

Me to myself: "Should I be insulted or flattered?"

But yeah, every time I think about that moment I can't help but imagine a similar scenario happening to Wire and maybe even Heat.

P.S. I still get mistaken for someone who's younger than they actually look. Not sure if I have good genetics or if it's due to being born premature🤷‍♀️ Hope I still look good when I reach my mid 30's

I hope you still look good in your mid 30s as well - and I hope it's not a long-suffering sort of thing either.

Because to that, I can relate. I've been fighting for my age since I was 16 and had to pull my learner's permit out to prove to some 12 year olds I was actually older than them. 😩

43 and I've not outrun this particular issue. I even got stopped by the police at 32 for "skipping school" cause they thought I was 18 (or younger, I did not ask)

But hey, another 10 years and I might actually get mistaken for 30. Here's hoping.

15 questions for mutuals

Tagged by @devotedsims 💜 and @stargazer-sims 💜

are you named after anyone? Nope. My mom just liked it and didn’t think it was an “old lady name” at the time, that was exactly what she told me. lol

when was the last time you cried? Uh… a few days ago? I think? It’s not uncommon but that’s way too much baggage to unpack here. 😅

do you have kids? Nope but my nieces are over enough that sometimes I feel like a part time parent, I just get to hand them back. lol

do you use sarcasm a lot? I do because a lot of people in my life do. I try to be careful not to around people I don’t know though because not everyone picks up on it nor likes it, and when not careful it can be hurtful even when unintentional. That’s something I don’t want to do.

what sports do you play/have you played? No sports now, but I used to love anything relating to horses, used to do a lot of trail riding even when it meant risking my life in the winter. lol I really miss it and the horses I bonded with. 🙁

what’s the first thing you notice about other people? Usually colours, like clothes and hair.

eye colour? Grey-blue, sometimes grey-greenish. So, grey? 😅

scary movies or happy endings? Happy endings. I need to sleep at night without my imagination hyping up my anxiety. lol

any special talents? Not any more. I used to draw a lot but I don’t have time to get back into it any more. I can still draw a decent horse from memory though I guess. 🤷‍♀️

where were you born? Nova Scotia, one of the most awkward time zones trying to find a group to play an MMO FPS with. 😅

what are your hobbies? I have time for video games and my simblr and that’s usually it. I’d like to have other hobbies though if I had time/mental energy, like drawing again, crochet, and knitting.

do you have any pets? Yep, I have a black kitty I adopted maybe about 10 years ago named Emily. She’s my little buddy. 🙂

how tall are you? Around 5′7″.

fave subject in school? Art in high school. Anything to do with cultural anthropology in university though. Those classes taught me so much and changed a lot of my world view about so many things.

dream job? I wanted to be a teacher. I was hoping to teach English as a second language (took an intro course for it) but alas life happened and it was not to be.😔

I’m not sure who to tag because I saw a lot of people have already done it. Also feel that question 2 could feel like a really personal question that I’m not sure everyone would be comfortable with answering. 😅
